We are introducing an easy and convenient way to organize and sort out SMT inductors. Tiny and precise SMT components like SMT inductors, resistors and capacitors, are very common in electronic designer's bench, but it's hard to organize them in a small place. In order to save time and space, ATI provides a smart way for this: Super Surface Mount Inductor Kits.(more)

Thermistor with negative temperature coefficient is called NTC thermistor. NTC thermistor is made of such metal oxide materials as manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper, etc., with semiconductor. NTC thermistor has compact size, resistance and temperature characteristics with small fluctuations, etc. As NTC thermistor has fast response to all kinds of temperature changes, it can be used to realize high sensitivity and high precision detection.(more)

It can be seen as the reliability test for TECs to make continuous thermal cycling to TECs in a wide temperature rang. Especially temperature of TECs in this process rises to very high. Compared with most applications, this process will cause higher failure rate. Most of failures are rooted in unmatched thermal expansion coefficients of thermal materials and other components. This is inevitable. It performs as initial failure, but sometimes, performance degeneration will be observed before failure.(more)

Thermoelectric cooler becomes more prevalent in thermal system design. Thermoelectric cooler is the fastest and most compact method in temperature control. Heat transport will be produced when the current goes through the peltier elements in peltier cooler. One side of the peltier cooler is attached to a heat sink and the other side is attached to the object. Then the object will be cooled or heated, depending on the direction of the current. The peltier controller can generate currents when a target temperature is set. The peltier controller should have a sensor input.(more)

NTC thermistor is the abbreviation of negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The main function of NTC thermistor is temperature detection. With the continuous emergence of intelligent computer control and automation equipments, NTC thermistor plays a more and more important role in electronic fields. It has been used in heater, air conditioner and some other aspects. The following is the physical photo of NTC thermistor.(more)

5. Determining TEC series Selecting TEC series must meet the actual temperature difference requirements, that is, the nominal temperature difference shall be higher than the actual temperature difference, so that it can meet the requirements. However, the series is not too much because TEC price has great improvement with the increase of series.(more)

SMT Inductor Kits are designed for electronic designers in collecting and organizing surface mount inductors. We have a few types of inductor kits, which contain different inductors of commonly used values, with different quantities. These inductor kits offer a simplest way for obtaining any value of inductors within the shortest time with the highest efficiency.(more)

In recent years, with the development of electronic industry, there is more and more demanding need for an easy way to sort out tiny electronic components, which are the basics components of electronic circuit design and development. For one of the most popular components, inductor, it's necessary to find a way to collect them and sort them out.(more)

Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) plays an important role in its application products. According to the characteristics, weakness and application range, the following problems should be determined when selecting TEC.(more)

When we mention peltier controller, we need to focus on peltier. Peltier comes from a Peltier effect, which was discovered by a French physicist, Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, in 19th century. Peltier is named after his surname. Peltier effect is also called thermoelectric effect, which converses temperature difference to voltage and vice versa. When there is a temperature difference on each side of a TE device, it creates voltage, and this TE device is called TEG. TEG can be used to generate electricity, but it has limited capacity due to low power. When there is a voltage difference on each side of a TE device, it creates a temperature difference, and this TE device is called TEC. TEC is now widely used in thermal system, such as solid state lasers, refrigerator, optical components, etc.(more)
